  • A transcript is a record of your academic progress, showing your courses, grades, and credits beginning in 9th grade. If the post-secondary school you’re applying to requires an official transcript, you will need to submit your request through the Parchment website. Create an account using a personal email address, pay with a credit or debit card, and select the destination where you want your transcript sent. Official transcripts are delivered electronically and directly to the designated school—post-secondary institutions will not accept transcripts sent by students themselves. There’s no need to purchase a self-view copy, as you can view your transcript anytime through your Parchment dashboard.

    Seniors can access their unofficial transcript through Skyward under Portfolio → Attachments. If your college or program accepts an unofficial transcript, you may provide them with a copy. If it must come directly from WHS, please contact the Counseling Office for assistance. Unofficial transcripts can also be used for college visits or scholarship applications.

    Final transcripts for graduated seniors are typically available by mid-June. The front office will notify you via email once final transcripts are ready and can be accessed through Parchment.
